The top header text reads **When I sleep:**, followed by three columns labeled **3 hours**, **8 hours**, and **10 hours**: 1. **3 hours**: Po has wide, tired-looking eyes, representing the groggy, over-fatigued feeling of not getting enough sleep. 2. **8 hours**: Po's eyes are bright and alert, depicting the refreshed, well-rested state of getting the ideal amount of sleep. 3. **10 hours**: Po's eyes are heavy and droopy, capturing the sluggish, overly-tired sensation of sleeping too long.
